&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Hey out there,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;what are some creative ideas to get pod membership?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;are there any structural changes that could be to get the waters tested on a good pod.&amp;nbsp; In other words, rather than being a slave to the marketing concept, couldn&amp;#39;t do one step better, and find a way to promote a product without it being simply the will of the promotor (benefactor), and more based on the mertis of the pod?&amp;nbsp; Yes, I know a pod will take off, if it is good.&amp;nbsp; Great in theory.&amp;nbsp; But we all know that popularity is a large reason things gain popularity, and it has names: the MAIN stream, the grid, the matrix, etc.&amp;nbsp; How does TRUE innovation make its way into the fabric, rather than simple moneymaking, and generating enterprises.&amp;nbsp; I hope I can find some agreement here that&amp;nbsp; new fresh ways might really help here.&amp;nbsp; finally, yes, I am speaking in general terms about marketing and ideas, but I am also speaking about promoting a pod (the seedling idea).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sincerely, c2007&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      thanks Karuna. feel free to link from &lt;a href="http://pods.zaadz.com/zlounge"&gt;ZLounge&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; Bulletin Board. ZLounge wasn&amp;#39;t originally intended to replace this rockin&amp;#39; pod. however, since ZLounge is expected to be the central passing station of more Zaadzsters in the future, i think it makes sense to put a &lt;a href="http://pods.zaadz.com/zlounge/discussions/board/1923"&gt;Bulletin Board&lt;/a&gt; there too :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thanks for starting this. feel free to keep it up or merge up. it&amp;#39;s all up to you people ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~C&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p align="center"&gt;Please show your support for the great new pod sprouted by C4Chaos:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WOW&lt;/strong&gt;!~! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;check it out:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2006/7/enter_the_zlounge"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2006/7/enter_the_zlounge"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ZLounge&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;This pod is going to take the place of the &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bulletin Board.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;It will be more of everything you want in a community Bulletin Board pod, and will be more comprehensive and much better &amp;quot;poderated&amp;quot;. My intention with Bulletin Board was to provide a forum for a Community Billboard until something more formal came along. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;This &amp;quot;something&amp;quot; has arrived, and it looks great, and it is great. Bulletin Board will be going bye bye soon. I will be dissolving this pod, and I encourage you to please join and participate in Z Lounge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a id="join_pod" href="http://pods.zaadz.com/zlounge/admin/join" onclick="var f = document.createElement(&amp;#39;form&amp;#39;); this.parentNode.appendChild(f); f.method = &amp;#39;POST&amp;#39;; f.action = this.href; f.submit();return false;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JOIN Z LOUNGE ! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;I t &amp;#39; s &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Z . . .

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Dear Zaadzsters,&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/"&gt;~C4&lt;/a&gt; here at your service.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m currently hyper-zipping around infiltrating Zaangha pods and checking up on all the good stuff that are happening in the Zaadz cyberspace. And man! We&amp;#39;re growing like wild mushrooms right now! This pod is testament to our hyper-growth. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m sure most of you are already familiar by now with our latest functionality called &lt;a href="http://events.zaadz.com/"&gt;zEvents&lt;/a&gt;. This new functionality empowers everyone to organize any event. People are already using it to &lt;a href="http://events.zaadz.com/tagged/zaangha"&gt;organize Zaanghas&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://events.zaadz.com/27/zaadz_beach_party"&gt;beach parties&lt;/a&gt;, and even for their own &lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2006/7/zevents_beach_party_and_some_dudes_project"&gt;personal use&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And get this: &lt;/strong&gt;zEvents is a perfect tool for &lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2006/7/pimp_your_zaanghas_with_zevents"&gt;pimpin&amp;#39; out your Zaanghas!&lt;/a&gt; :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="zoom-photo" style="width: 500px"&gt;    &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://aura.zaadz.com/photos/5/44690/xlarge/screenshots_zevents04s.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="zoom-photo" src="http://aura.zaadz.com/photos/5/44690/large/screenshots_zevents04s.jpg" alt="Screenshots_zevents04s" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here&amp;#39;s how to add your events:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;div class="zoom-photo" style="width: 500px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;a href="http://events.zaadz.com/"&gt;http://events.zaadz.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click on &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://events.zaadz.com/new"&gt;Add&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; or just head over directly to &lt;a href="http://events.zaadz.com/new"&gt;http://events.zaadz.com/new&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fill out all the necessary fields such as &lt;em&gt;Title, Subtitle, Description, Date, Time,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To add a location, click on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Add New Venue&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, then fill out all the address fields.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make sure to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tag&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; your events so that people can easily find them! For example, tag it with &amp;ldquo;Zaangha&amp;rdquo; for Zaangha events and/or make up your own tags!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can also optionally &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;upload an image&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to your event.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finally, be sure to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;categorize&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; your events so it would be classified and displayed accordingly on the zEvents page, and for easy searching.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;div class="zoom-photo" style="width: 500px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s it! Piece of cake! &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;That is all for now. So carry on. Feel free to use &lt;a href="http://events.zaadz.com/"&gt;zEvents&lt;/a&gt; whenever, for work, for play, for fun, for a higher purpose, with chaos, creativity, compassion, and care.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;~C4 out! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Absolutely a must have feature in Zaadz.&lt;br /&gt;Should be just like the blog posts, where you can chose to hide, show to friends, or show to the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;feel this a way to share the wealth of information shared here on zaadz... if others see a pod of interest on our profiles they may grow...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;growing pods freewil&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
